Testimonials

PALMIA, Fremont

“Learning from a high schooler was such a joy. She didn’t just show me which buttons to press—she made me believe I could actually keep up with technology. Now I check my bank account and shop online safely.”

BROOKDALE NORTH, Fremont

When I first met Ms. Bobby, the volunteer coordinator told me that she had dementia so the conversation may not flow very well. However, Ms. Bobby gave me the warmest smile and we started chatting like we were old friends. She began telling me about her favorite flowers, games, and granddaughters with the brightest smile I had ever seen. I couldn’t even tell that she was suffering from dementia because of how happily she was talking about her life experiences. After we talked for a while, we played games like Bingo and did arts and crafts together. Meeting Ms. Bobby and seeing her positive outlook on life really changed the way

PACIFICA, Union City

“I’ve always been hesitant with phones and computers, but she showed me tricks I never knew. Now I share photos, listen to music, and even joined a WhatsApp group with my old friends. It’s been life-changing.”

COGIR, Fremont

“I was nervous at first because I didn’t want to feel ‘behind the times.’ But the way she explained everything step by step, without rushing me, gave me so much confidence. I even taught my friend how to use FaceTime!”

AEGIS LIVING, Fremont

Thanks to this program, I’ve become confident with my own devices. “I never thought I would be able to text my granddaughter without help, but now I send her messages every evening. It feels wonderful to stay connected on my own. This young lady taught me so patiently—I feel 20 years younger!”
